C-A ball event - Balcony Escape

Going to the ball was really a bad idea. Natalia forced herself to smile most of the night, putting up a mask for all of her friends. They didn't know any better, didn't think that there could be anything wrong with her. A shared drink here, a few dances there and she had almost made it through the night without an incident. But as the music slowed and everyone paired off to dance, Nat could feel herself slipping. As hard as Romeo tried, he couldn't keep her mind off of her pain. 

Excusing herself, she escaped to the balcony for some air. Maybe if she just could get out a good cry, she could make it through the rest of the night... But as she paced the balcony, her eyes caught movement in the shadows. She most certainly didn't expect Vito to appear before her, especially not when it was filled with military. Begging, she tried to get him to leave. Being there for a moment was not worth what could happen to him. But he insisted, at least for as long as a dance. Why was this happening now to her? All this distance between them and yet he came swooping in like some knight in shining armor at her lowest point, when she would need him the most. Why was he even bothering? 

But as they lightly swayed to the distant music, her tears slowly began to stop and a smile returned to her face. And for once, it was a genuine one.


Finally finished this ; v ; I have to say, this came out a little better than I expected. Still difficult as balls to get out a background, but I did it QAQ Now I shall lay down and cry about my heartbroken baby.
